I was banded in Nov 08 with a beginning weight of 218. At the low end of the BMI scale, but had sleep apnea, diabetes, high cholesterol, etc which is why my surgery was quickly approved by my insurance. To date, 24 Mar 09, I have lost 35 pounds. I would do it ALL OVER AGAIN. It is a great tool, not a cure, but a tool. :thumbup:

I was starving too and made it thru one week before I moved on to yogurt and very soft scrambled egg whites.

I was banded on 11/03/08..............so far so good ......mine was two weeks preop liquid (which was worse than now) and one week liquid; i have been eating pretty good the last week only three weeks post op. Have had no problems whatsoever - most pain was in the area where the port was placed and that pain eased every day after surgery more and more. Went back to work the next Monday. So far (counting 8 pre surgery) I have lost 20 big ones. Have not done very well on the exercise and need to start like tomorrow. Was very happy with the surgeon - I am from Ft Worth, Texas and my surgeon was Dr David Kim at North Hills Hospital in N Richland Hills. Looking forward to chatting with you all . Banded 11/03/08 Preop Weight 218 (serious comorbidities) Goal is to be healthy and comfortable if this takes me even:thumbup: close to 155.

By the way, I have had alot of hiccups - some even in the middle of the night. No vomiting - what is pbing (is that vomiting). My surgeon was a great one in case anyone in Ft Worth is looking for one. Dr. David Kim who is now located in Colleyville, Texas. One of the top docs of bariatric surgery.

Hello everyone, I was banded on 11/3/08. Just three weeks ago. What kind of food are you eating? Give me an idea of your diet for a day after three weeks post surgery.
